In celebration of Spring at Salt Point, Dr. Kevin McGowan of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, will give a presentation entitled, Birds of Salt Point: Why Cayuga Lake Is So Special. This talk about birds and bird watching in Lansing and Salt Point/Myers Park will take place TONIGHT, Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at 7 PM at Lansing Town Hall, 29 Auburn Road in South Lansing, behind the Library.
Sponsored by Friends of Salt Point (www.saltpointlansing.org), it is FREE and open to the public. Besides showing birds that can be found in Lansing, Kevin will discuss the special features of the Cayuga Lake Basin that account for the great diversity of birds here. The lake's depth, good bird habitats, and nearby wetlands, its geologic history and geographic location at the junction of several ecozones, and its position on the Atlantic migration flyway all make Cayuga Lake and its Salt Point a magnet for many kinds of birds - some you would not expect! Kevin McGowan, Ph.D. is well known for his informative research on American Crows and is Project Manager for the Distance Learning Program in Bird Biology at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He is also a favorite speaker at the Lab of Ornithology's Spring Field Ornithology course. Donna L.
